I'm apparently the only one who thinks this looks fucking awful. The suit looks like shit which is a pretty major no no. The effects look on par with Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern. The casting leaves an enormous amount to be desired. I've never seen the chick playing Lois be believable in anything, nevermind good. The dude playing Clark looks like a teenager and the guy playing Lex somehow looks worse than Eisenberg which I didn't think was possible, also looking like a damn child. They decided to full on rape the John Williams theme into something horrific. And that's just criticising what's in the trailer, not the trailer itself which is barely watchable garbage that gives way too fucking much information about the movie away.
James Gunn is hit or miss, rarely with a meh. This does not look like a fucking hit to me. This looks like a confusing jumble of a movie and trying to slap the same Guardians of the Galaxy energy to it. Please explain to me when the hell Superman ever had the same energy as Peacemaker or Guardians of the Galaxy?
This is a joke. It isn't Superman. It's a James Gunn self-congratulatory, masturbatory piece of garbage. This looks like shit. Just another cranked out Superman movie I'll put on the shelf next to Superman Returns.
I mostly disagree although I think Lex is miscast. He's not too young, but I think he's too small.
